Power Play Lyrics - Monster - Steppenwolf

What gives you the right? Hey you 

To stand there and tell me what to do 

Tell me who gave you the power? 

To stop me from livin' like I do 

Remember if you plan to stay 

Those who give can take away 

Don't bite the hand that feeds you 

Just one time I'd like to be somewhere 

Where none of your clever lies fill the air 

I'm tired of your frozen smile and your voice of tin 

Just might all gang up on you, turn the knob and do you in 

Remember if you plan to stay 

Those who give can take away 

Don't bite the hand that feeds you 

This never ending power play 

'Tween jealous greed and vicious hate 

Is grinding us like giant millstones 

But it can't be our only fate 

It's time we got our heads together 

And let 'em know that we're awake 

Those in the dark, you know they're no longer blind 

They're breakin' from your strangle hold on their minds 

Those who can see don't need no one to cross the street 

Be careful who you're pushin' round, they just might find you obsolete 

Remember if you plan to stay 

Those who give can take away 

Don't bite the hand that feeds you 

What gives you the right? Hey 

To stand there and tell me what to do 

Tell me who gave you the power? 

To stop me from livin' like I do 

Remember if you plan to stay 

Those who give can take away 

Don't bite the hand that feeds you
